For those of you who don’t know me personally, I’ll start with the elevator pitch: I’m Paige Burns, founder of Main Paige Media, a full-service video production company dedicated to helping businesses tell their stories through high-quality, engaging video content. I’ve always been passionate about storytelling—whether through video, photography, or writing—and I love bringing my clients’ visions to life in a way that resonates with their audience.

After years of working in video production, I realized that so many small businesses, non-profits, and educators had incredible stories to share, but didn’t always know how to translate their message into compelling video content. That’s why I started Main Paige Media—to bridge that gap and create professional, authentic videos that help brands connect with their ideal clients.

How I Got Into Video Production

In undergrad, my major at Northeastern University was Communication Studies with a concentration in Media Studies. I also had a minor in Media Production and a minor in Writing. Despite this highly specific combination of areas of interest, for years I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do. Commercial advertising, screenwriting, TV producing, copywriting, film production – it all crossed my mind at one point or another. All I knew was I loved doing work where I got to be creative and tell stories. Fast forward to today and I’m so happy that I get to do those two things every day.

I also spent years tutoring middle school students in math, and even briefly considered taking a hard left turn from pursuing creative industries to pursuing a career in education. Today when we get to work with schools and non-profits on their video projects, I feel like it’s the perfect marriage of those two paths I was split between in undergrad.

Outside of work

I often joke that I’m always “working for the weekend.” That’s not to say I don’t love what I do, because I absolutely do, but one thing I love about being a business owner is that I can design the life I want to live. My partner, Dan, and I love to travel. We’re often taking weekend trips to ski in the winter, camp in the summer, or jet set to new cities to explore or see friends. Living a life of adventure is a big priority to me, and I’m so grateful for a partner who is enthusiastically along for that ride.

When I’m not traveling, I call Beverly, Massachusetts home. We have two dogs, Willow & Dobby, and they fill my life with chaos and a lot of love.
